I know LBS owners need to make their profit, but IMHO handlebar tape
has become so ridiculously expensive that I have started using
old-fashioned friction tape instead. It is cheap; it works great; and
since it is sticky on both sides, you don't have to worry about your
hands leaving the bars when you go over a bump.

7 euro and it doesn't get better than this. Lasts a couple of years if
you buy the black one and wrap it with care and don't crash of course.
